And now for a spot of tea . . .

Bigelow Tea is in Fairfield, Connecticut (USA), which is near my neighborhood, so it should be easy to pull together a tea party. Hmmm, now I just need to decide which character to be - Alice has a nice apron, the Cheshire Cat a big smile and then of course there is the Mad Hatter's hat . . .

"Be sure the safest rule is that we should not dare to live in any scene in which we dare not die." - Lewis Carroll

"One of the secrets of life is that all that is really worth the doing is what we do for others." - Lewis Carroll

“If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there.” - Lewis Carroll

Trivia note: 'Mad as a hatter' was also a common expression in 19th century England, probably because many hatters did go mad from exposure to mercury, which was used in the process of making felt hats. (source)
